@steve@social.technoetic.com @silverpill@mitra.social in theory POST to outbox should publish the activity, and should trigger the delivery algorithm based on audience (which is another thing handled poorly compared to even smtp which it tried to copy...)
imo that should be part of the protocol contract, and the idea of "side effects" unfortunately muddles that. the guarantee should be built into the outbox delivery algorithm and an outbox should signal this algorithm is in effect.

@steve@social.technoetic.com @silverpill@mitra.social now if only AP had officially defined conformance profiles to this effect... (the "activity publishing profile" and the "notification delivery profile", to be clear)
